MONROE — Drivers who use Highway 522 near Monroe should be prepared for daytime lane closures and nighttime ramp closures, which are scheduled for Monday, Jan. 26 to Friday, Jan. 30.
Contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation plan to work on drainage and guardrail for the Highway 522 widening project between the Snohomish River Bridge and U.S. 2.
Up to one lane in each direction of the highway may be closed 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. In addition, the westbound off-ramp to 164th Street SE/Main Street is scheduled to be closed nightly from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.; the eastbound off-ramp, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
One lane of 164th Street SE/Main Street between Fryelands Boulevard and the east roundabout also is scheduled to be closed nightly, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. A pilot car will lead traffic through the remaining open lane.
The widening project is one of the final stages of a $145.5 million investment in the Highway 522 corridor, which included a new flyover ramp at the U.S. 2 interchange, wetland and restoration work. The improvements were funded by the 2003 gas tax.
